Capt. Dillon offered the following resolu-
ton, which was adopted
Resolved. That the Executive Committee be
authorized to appoint permanent Secretary
with such assistants as it may deem necessary,
and at such rate of compensation as it may
deem just.
The following resolution by Mr.. c. F.
Prendergast, was also adopted:
Resolved That the Executive Committee be
authorized to invite such distinguished guests
as it, in its judgment, may see proper to honor.
Hon. P. w. Meldrim offered the follow
ing:
Resolved That the Executive Committee be
requested to gather such information in regard
to the probable expenses of the celebration as
may be necessary for the guidance of the
Finance Committee in its work, and to that end
that the chairman of each subcommittee be
requested TO submit an estimate of the proba-
bic amount which may be required by his COM
mittee, and. further, that the Executive Com
mittee submit its report to the General Commit
tee on the evening of Dec. 9, to which time this
committee shall adjourn.
The resolutions were unanimously agreed
to and the meeting adjourned.
The celebration movement has started
under the most favorable auspices, and it
only requires liberal subscriptions, which,
of course, will be forthcoming, to make it
just little bigger show than anything ever
seen in Georgia. Mr.. Alex Doyle, Of New
York, the artist and contractor of the statue.
will be here next week to begin the work of
laying the foundation.
